The Newburyport Choral Society welcomes new singers!

Join Us as a Singing Member of the Newburyport Choral Society!

The Newburyport Choral Society enthusiastically welcomes new singers to our musical family each season!  Singers range from high school age to adults and the only requirements for membership are a love of singing, commitment to learning the music, and a willingness to support the success of the chorus in any way that you can.

As an active member you will experience—

  • a rewarding atmosphere of creative outlet,
  • an expansion of your musical horizons,
  • the warm camaraderie of our choral community,
  • a sense that you are contributing to the art and culture of the broader community.

Registration is completed online, and you can join during the first few weeks of either our Fall or Spring seasons. The Fall season usually begins in early September and the Spring season usually begins in early January.

We accep new singers for our semester during the first two weeks of each semester (September and January). Registration announcements appear on the home page preceding registration each semester.
